QR Code Link to This Post
This sloop was built from the plans of a "Stevenson Weekender", featuring marine grade plywood construction for the hull. It has a gaff rig mainsail and a jib sheet. It's a boat that turns heads at the launch ramp and on the water.
The traditional gaff rig is straightforward to handle and forgiving, making the boat easy to sail whether you're an experienced sailor or looking to enjoy the charm of classic rigging without unnecessary complexity. It has a fixed full keel which only cuts the water an additional 10 inches, so its a dream to pull up to the beach with. She is stable, responsive, and enjoyable in a wide range of conditions, it's equally suited for relaxed afternoon sails or longer days exploring local waters.
Included is a custom fit trailer, making transport, launching, and storage simple and convenient. No need to worry about finding a slip—take it wherever your next sailing adventure leads.
